. >> with opinions so clearly divided, german chancellor angela merkel was keen to play down the differences and talk up the prospects of reaching agreement. >> the starting positions are quite far apart. but speaking for germany, i say we will do everything we can to come to an agreement. because in times of uncertainty and high unemployment, it is essential for people to be able to plan their future. >> it is about politics, not just numbers. the trick will be to find a deal that allows each of the 27 national leaders to claim victory when they return home, and members of the european parliament have warned that if the budget makes too many cuts, they may veto the whole package. >> will there be a deal this time around? for more on the budget summit, let's go now live to brussels and our correspondent. the start of this conference has been put off. what is happening? >> let's be clear. the official start of the conference has been put off, but really, there has been tough bargaining going on behind the scenes since this afternoon. especially great britain seems to be a tough nut to crack,

you look at someone like angela merkle, who embodies what a strong woman leader in a very difficult time faces. she is a friend of mine and is someone who i think has made a real difference in europe. and look at prime minister gillard in australia. she made a memorable speech about sexism. and some of the insults that were directed at her as a woman, not as a leader, i mean, that's fair game in any political system or democracy, certainly, you know, people don't agree with your positions, but to use sexist language to have a tinge of degradation attached to the criticism, she took it right on in the australian parliament. and i could go on. because, you know, look at president rousseff in brazil who has taken a strong stand on supporting women and girls. and so i see that women leaders right now are not only exemplifying what it means to be a woman in power, they're all very different, the ones that i've just named, but they're also standing up for women in their society. >> you said you will continue to work with angela merkle and these other very powerful women you met while secretary

in the right direction, but with regard to the decision today, i think if you've been listening to angela merkel to david cameron himself and francois hollande this week, the indication is that perhaps we shouldn't be as optimistic as jean-claude juncker would have us believe, but someone has to fly the flag for europe and we like our posturing in europe. overall, what rewe looking at? germany, the uk, the nordic european countries are fighting for cuts, real term cuts in this whereas italy and france would rather have it held steady. even within that, the battle lines aren't clear. the uk and sweden in particular, trying to protect their all important rebates. we've got italy saying that their contribution overall is too great and, of course, as i just mentioned, france very concerned about the agricultural spending that contributes around 40% of the entire eu budget. so as usual, we get a of comments and a lot of the european leaders come to this working out, just how they can negotiate and is walk away, flying their individual flag and saying, hey, i came out with what i asked. but, yo
